The best beauty find of 2010 has to be my hair care routine. (Does that count?) I have very oily hair and I decided in 2010 I have to do something about it, and I did! Completely changed my life (or at least how I feel about how I look lol)

My favorite discovery of 2010 is a hard one to pick, but id definitely mineralize skin finish naturals, they are the best face powder i have eve used. I love the give away, ive been wanting some new stuff from urban decay

My Make Up discovery of 2010 is Carmex. Yes, I said it Carmex. I never though about using it as a lip base for when I was applying my lip stick, liner, or gloss. I always used it but never thought about using it as a lip base. lol Crazy right.. Cheap, dual usage, and it comes in a pack of three so I literally have them all over my apartment and autos.

My favourite beauty product of 2010 is actually more a hair product. But it is goody's spin pins! They are AMAZING if you are growing your hair for putting it up without damage and SO quick and easy to use!

My 2010. discovery... Hard one but I will go with lipglosses. I usually avoided them because they are sticky. However, I discovered a few non-sticky ones and I love them!

hey, my favourite beauty discovery is that you can use eyeshadow to do your brows, that really was an eye opener.GFC: schumitzaTwitter @schumitza and twetted about the giveawayFacebook: Raluca Morariuemail raluca_morariu2000 (at) yahoo (dot) com

My favourite beauty product of the year is Estee Lauder Maximum Cover foundation. Not a new product by them, but newly discovered by me and I will never, ever look back! Heavy coverage, but doesn't clog your pores, creamy consistency which blends easily. Gives a porcelain doll effect without the appearance of too much makeup...truly a godsend!

Hey cool giveaway enter me please i am a new follower on GFCi have posted a picture link in my sidebarhttp://xcharmed-chickx.blogspot.com/my beauty tip would be heat your eyelash curler up a little using a hairdryer before you use it this will make your lash curl last longer.maz1804@hotmail.co.uk

my best beauty secret has been BUTT PASTE (no joke) diaper ointment on zits. dries everything up. sounds gross, but sudocrem in the uk is basically the same thing and has multiple uses like zit-zappers.

My favorite makeup discovery of 2010 was contouring the side of the cheeks with bronzer to create a leaner faced look. I use it almost daily. Fabulous. Learned if from Kandee Johnson's youtube channel.

One of the best giveaways ever!I follow you via GFC Beauty AddictMy email is confessionsofabeautyholic@gmail.comI have you on the sidebar of my blog Confessions of a BeautyholicBest product in 2010 for me was Urban Decay Naked Palette!

Hey Kat! I saw the link you posted to this give away on Kandee Johnsons blog! So I came on over and entered! But I really enjoy reading you blog....its so full of yummy happy beauty things!!

My favorite thing Ive learned this year: Best. Eye. Lashes. Ever. Soo many people have asked me if im wearing fake lashes!! A coat of Maybellene define-A-lash: volume mascara to get your lashes super long and separated.Then let it get a little bit tacky first...about 20 seconds. Then maybelen XXL PRO mascara side 2....its very very wet mascara....and put it on and they plump right up! But you have to use both! Up until I started doing this, my favorite mascara was the urban decay big fatty mascara. But I will always use this now!! Please try this if you can and do a review on it!!

Hi Kat!! i saw the link on bubblegurms blog!!! had a quick look on your blog and absolutely loved it!! i would like to share one of my eyelash curling method that i use every single day, it is very useful for the ones who doesnt have a eyelascurler or simply doesn't wanna damage the eyelashes with the curler..steps i follow,1) apply a coat of mascara2) wait for few seconds to let mascara get lil bit dry3)look up, place your index finger at the bottom base of eyelashes4)look down while your index finger is still there and press your finger gently wait for few seconds5)apply the second coat of mascara

Voila!! it sounds complicated but doesnt take more than a min for both eyes and very safe way to curl the lashes...

my fav make up product is definetly BLUSHER!! my current fav is 'rude' by illamasqua..

i am a new follower and i DIE for your blog! i have two tips, first invest in good brushes and second take care of them... wash them with a little shampoo to keep them good as new!

favorite product right now is MAC Fascinating eye khol. its a creamy white eyeliner that i have been using on the inside corners of my eyes and topping with a light reflecting shadow to brighten my eyes... add mascara and a bold lip and you are good to go!

Hi kat! my follower name on twitter is xbabiekakezx and my name on here and email is jrose0588@aol.com.

THE best beauty find for 2010 would definatly have to be the Awapuhi Moisture Mist from Paul Mitchell. You can use it to set your make-up, at the beach to refresh yourself, spray in your hair to make it feel fabulous and soft, and also use it as a moisturizer for your whole body includiing your face. I LOVE THIS MULTI-USE PRODUCT!

MY BEST TIP I LEARNT: To keep your eyeliner on all day, swipe your waterline with a q-tip before applying your eyeliner. The q-tip dries your waterline up to leave eyeliner on all day. For extra stay, apply a matte black eyeshadow over your eyeliner.

I posted about your giveaway in the sidebar of my blog. http://leahs-land.blogspot.com/

I'm already a follower.Best product I found this year was the Elf Studio cream eyeliner - it's smudge proof, I don't have to worry about having Racoon eyes.
